The biggest drawback was the location, although it gets better when a new trainline is build. Two out three of my teachers were good, although only one was native, which was a bit disappointment.

If you want to travel, you need quite a lot time. Australia is a huge country and mid-semester break might not be long enough. I even had lectures during the break. The most important thing you need is open mind.

the structure of the course.It is due to the fact that MQ has a complex curriculum and students are likely to take an ideal course if they have more knowledge about that

Final comments

Macquarie University is different from other university in Sydney. It is more innovative. Many social activities are available and high quality education is provided. There is still chances to be an exchange student to study in US or EU. The career training and internship will be accessible as well.
